The Best& Cheapest of All.
THE RAIN HEDGE FENCE.
No Wire Used. Only 81 Per Rod. Four
Years Time TO Pay for IL.

The RAIN method of making Hedge Fences
consists in so dwarfing the roots and plants at
the proper time that II not only tends TO make
plants more vigorous and causes them to sprout
near the ground, but it also prevents the roots
from spreading and in short time forms fence
So densely knit together and interviewer from
the ground up, that the smallest as well as the
largest and strongest animals are efectually
turned, and this without the assistance of any
FLASHING or wires, for wires must seriously in-
jure the plants and render their trimming in
convenient. Besides the FLASHING must sooner
or later kill them.
Practical experience has shown that the RAIN
method secures not only the best but the cheap
est and most durable fence known. Hundreds
OF farmers attest its popularity and efficiency.
Old Hedges can be successfully treated with
this method, at small expense. Make no con-
tract for Hedge Fence until you see the under

Attorney. General Garland said yester.
day that he was not candidate for the

by severe attack of sickness that came
upon me in March, 1886. Besides some
months after the two appointments re-.
ierred to were made l was elected by tho
legislature OF Arkansas to the United
States Senate for the second time. and
then formed n resolution TO retire from
public life and public place at the end of
that term, which will expire with the
closing OF this administration; and have
80 shaped my affairs as to carry ONT
this resolution, which becomes moro i'm.
portant to me as the time approaches. y
May ask you, then, if the President
knows OF this 2" "Yes, generally and
particularly; generally, for he has heard
me say fatty more than year ago that |
wanted and would have no other public
place after this, and on the 23d of Feb.

ciined, repeating positively the determi-

Il
A peculiar accident happened ON the
main line OF the Pennsylvania railroad
| just outside of PHILADELPHIA aops DAVIS
ago, IN which the victim escaped 10 n
| marvellous manner. The accident or.
CURED at Bryn Mawr, or one Of the
adjacent stations. The victim Of thu
accident, small boy, was directed by
the station agent TO deliver the mail
pouch to the passing train from the
| catcher. These catehers are devices
| placed at intermediate stations by which
mail bags are caught by fast trains in
passing. The pouch is suspended from n
stand by means of strings, aud ns the
train approaches the mail agent arranpes
catcher, which consists OF two iron
rods, one longer than the other and ioirled
at an angle, which he passes out from his
car, ssa with which he catches the mail
bag while going at the highest speed aud
draws il into the oar. In this instance
the boy got mp on the stand with the mail
bag. expecting TO deliver it.
When the mil train arrived, the agent
put cut his catcher and WINS Mortified to
cntch boy. The agent evidently must
nave lost his presence Of mind for instead
of drawing him into the car as he wonla
have done with tho mail, he left the poor
lad to bangle in mid.air for n short dis
tance and then the little fellow fell to the
ground. It was thought that he was
either dead or fatally injured. but by
careful nursing he is now recovering from
the injuries received from his most re-
markable accident It seems wonderful
that the boy did not havo his back broken
BY the force with which the catcher
struck him.

Struck bVa Trai,,

A 10-year old son of Edward Il.
MoGonigal, living at 500 Taylor street,
WAS very badly injured Monday on
the p, W. a. b. railroad in front Of the
jackson Il Sharp Oompany's works. The
lad had been picking coal in the McOul.
Tough Iron Oompany's yard and started
TO walk toward the railroad tracks. About
this time the southern fast mail came
dashing in and the boy watched IL in
tently as it came along. Some coal cars
obstructed his view and prevented him
from looking down the north-bound
track, on which the train leaving here at
S.15 q. m. for Philadelphia was approach
ing. The lad walked toward tho north
bound track unconscious of his danger
and was struck by the step or some part
of the engine on the left side of the head
and knocked over. Fortunately, the
train was not going at full speed or the
boy would have been killed. He was
stunned and badly injured by tho blow
and was removed in semi-unoonscious
condition to his home.

Al the moetiHg of the directors of III,

Office ut the Middle Depot Monday nigh
reports were heard from the cominitte,
upon motor power. me statements made
by Edwin w. Head who bad been
deputed to go to Baltimore and inyesti.
gate the Daft electric system in use there
Rs o motor power for propelling street
cars made favorable impression.
Mr.. Hsald's report assured those
present upon the entire feasibility of
electricity as motor power for driving
passenger cars. In his statements he did
not directly endorse the Baltimore Daft
system, for although in existence IS
months and maintained with efficiency
and complete absence of trouble, the
motor used is somewhat antiquated. MIR.
Heald thus showed that more efficient
service even than that obtained in Balti-
more might be gained here.
The meeting was unanimously in favor
OF the adoption of electricity as a motor
power. The idea of using horse power
in the new extension was definitely given
up.
The bids of Jeremiah Mahoney, road
contractor, of this city, were accepted
who will have the road-bed ready by the
time the rails are shipped here. The
directors we're informed last night that
the new bridge will be ready by the mid
die of June. The iron for the rails cam
not be obtained before July 10th, which
is the earliest date Wharton IL 90. of
Philadelphia could obtain them from any
foundry. The iron mills of the country
are full of orders. The 50 tons of rails
ordered by the City Passenger Railway
Company last fall for repairing purposes
came to hand only within few days,
a fact which illustrates the pressure upon
iron foundries.
No contract has as yet been made by
the company for any particular electric
system. The committee appointed TO re-
port on the best System will thoroughly
investigate all those commonly in use,
including that of the Sprague, Wander
poel, Daft and others. When that report
is in the choice will be made. Negotia.
tions with the Wilmington City Electric
Company to furnish the motive power are
in progress, and it is probable that the
contract will be granted that corporation.
President William CANDY states that
tho overhead system of wires will be used
instead of the under-current. The latter
is interfered with too much during the
winter season by snow, cold and slush.
The overhead system will be free, gem
orally speaking, from those detriments.
II is sottled TINT the electric motor
power will extend according to contract
as far Rs kiverview cemetery. The cleo
trio motor system is warranted to exist
intact for working purposes for 30 years.
The average passenger railway horse is
of effective service not longer than five
years. The advantage therefore is OBJ
vious of electric motor plant over horse
power. The new service will be guaran.

"f the Society Undsr Consideration
The business of the yearly meeting of
the New York Society OF Friends, now in
session ut the meeting house in Rnther-
ford place, New York city, progressed
rlpidly Tuesday. The answers to the
disciplinary queries handed up from sub
ordinate meetings were all read and
passed upon without any prolonged dis.
cuaslon or pronounced difference nf
opinion. good deal Of concern was ex-
pressed at the lack of general interest in
the regular gatherings for worship, as
shown by the limited attendance of
the younger generation among those who
mad been brought up in the society.
Inc liberal advances made by Friends
III their views regarding the paid minis
tratlons OF the clergy in less simple de-
nominations were on the other hand com
mended in few we'll chosen sentences
by Thomas Foulke of New York, in reply
TO stereotyped structures uttered by David
Newport Of Philadelphia. The former
emphasized the fact that it was not to the
men composing SHRED ministry as
such, or to their work, so long as it was
good, that Friends objected, but to the
making Of sacred calling trade or a
mere means of profit.
The report OF the visitation committee,
whose mission it is to attend subordinate
meetings from time to time, to carry
thither encouragement and sympathy from
the higher body, was remarkably well re-
ceiyed. A short debate arose later over
the report of the committee on education
as to the Justice of taxing the members
at large for the support of denominational
schools, which are mainly of local benefit.
